1.13 SCSI Bus Fairness

This chapter describes the configuration, physical and electrical characteristics, interface protocol, and operations of SCSI buses.

Note:

The HDD operates as a target (TARG) on the SCSI bus. The HDD is called "TARG" in this

chapter except when clear identification is required.

1.1 System Configuration

Up to 16-bit SCSI series models can be connected to the system via the SCSI bus. Figure 1.1

gives an example of multi-host system configuration.

Each SCSI device operates as an initiator (INIT) or a target (TARG). Only a single INIT and a

single TARG selected by this INIT can operate simultaneously on the SCSI bus.

The system configuration allows any combination of a SCSI device to operate as the INIT and a

SCSI device to operate as the TARG. Also, any device having both the INIT and TARG functions can be used on the SCSI bus.

Each SCSI device is assigned a unique address (or SCSI ID). The SCSI ID corresponds to a bit

number of the SCSI data bus. While the INIT uses a logical unit number (LUN) to select an I/O unit to be connected under TARG control.

C141-C015 13

Page 20

Any SCSI ID of the HDD can be selected using the setup pins. However, the LUN is fixed to

zero (0). The SCSI ID can be 0 to 15.

Note:

The maximum number of SCSI devices and the maximum cable length are limited depending

on the selected SCSI data transfer mode and the SCSI transceiver type. Appropriate SCSI devices and cable length must be determined for each system.

1.2 Interface Signal Definition

Figure 1.2 shows interface signal types. The SCSI bus consists of 27 signal lines. The 27 signal

lines consist of data buses (2 bytes plus two odd parity bits) and 9 control signal lines.

The SCSI bus can be a single-ended or low voltage differential(LVD) interface depending on the

model used. Their physical and electrical characteristics are detailed in Sections 1.3 and 1.4.

P_CRCA (18)

C141-C015 15

Figure 1.2 Interface signals

Page 22

(1) DB15 to DB00, P1, P_CRCA (Data buses)

The 16-bit SCSI system uses a bidirectional data bus consisting of two-byte data and two odd

parity bits.

MSB (2

): DB15, LSB (20): DB00

The data bus is used to transfer a command, data, a status, or a message in the INFORMATION

TRANSFER phase. However, DB15 to DB08 and P1 are used for data transfer only. The data is transferred only after the WIDE DATA TRANSFER REQUEST or PARALLEL PROTOCOL REQUEST message has been exchanged and the 16-bit data transfer mode has been established between the INIT and TARG.

In the ARBITRATION phase, the data bus is used to send a SCSI ID to determine the bus

arbitration priority. In the SELECTION or RESELECTION phase, the data bus is used to send a SCSI ID of the INIT and TARG. Figure 1.3 shows the relationship between the data buses and SCSI IDs.

(a) DB15 to 0

Sixteen data-bit signals that form the 16-bit DATA BUS. (b) DB7 to 0

Eight data-bit signals that form the 16-bit DATA BUS. (c) P1 (ST DATA phase)

A signal sourced by the SCSI device driving the data bus during ST DATA phases. This signal is

associated with the DB(15-8) signals and is used to detect the presence of an odd number of bit errors within the byte. The parity bit is driven such that the number of logical ones in the byte plus the parity bit is odd.

Page 23

(d) P1 (data group transfer enabled)

A signal that shall be continuously negated by the SCSI device driving the DB(15-0) signals and

shall be ignored by the SCSI device receiving the DB(15-0) signals during DT DATA phases.

(e) P1 (information unit and paced transfer enabled)

A signal that is sourced by SCSI device to indicate the data valid or data invalid state. (f) P_CRCA (PARITY/CRC AVAILABLE) (SELECTION phase, ST DATA phase, COMMAND phase,

MESSAGE phase, or STATUS phase)

A signal sourced by the SCSI device driving the data bus during these phases. This signal is

associated with the DB(7-0) signals and is used to detect the presence of an odd number of bit errors within the byte. The parity bit is driven such that the number of logical ones in the byte plus the parity bit is odd.

The parity bits (P1 and P_CRCA) is optional for the system. The HDD handles the data bus

parity as follows:

• The HDD has the data bus parity check function, and can enable or disable the parity check.

See Section 5.3.2 "SCSI Parity" of the Product Manual for setup details.

• When valid data is sent to the data bus from the HDD, the parity data is always guaranteed

except for the ARBITRATION phase.

(g) P_CRCA (data group transfer enabled)

A signal sourced by a target during DT DATA phases to control whether a data group field is a

pad field, pCRC field, or data field. When asserted the data group field shall be pad or pCRC fields that shall not be transferred to the ULP. When negated the data group field shall be a data field that shall be transferred to the ULP.

Note:

ULP is "Upper Level Protocol".

(h) P_CRCA (information unit and paced transfer enabled)

During DT DATA phases when information unit transfers are enabled this signal is referred to as

P_CRCA and is sourced by the SCSI target port. Depending on the negotiated condition of read streaming and write flow control the SCSI initiator port and SCSI target port usage for P_CRCA is different. When information unit transfers are enabled the SCSI target port and SCSI initiator port shall use the P_CRCA signal.

(2) BSY (BUSY)

The BSY signal indicates that the SCSI bus is in use. In the ARBITRATION phase, this signal is

used to request for the bus usage priority.

(3) SEL (SELECT)

The SEL signal is used by the INIT to select a TARG (in the SELECTION phase) or by the

TARG to reselect an INIT (in the RESELECTION phase).

(4) C/D (CONTROL/DATA)

This is a combination of I/O and MSG signals, and specifies a type of information transferred on

the data bus. The C/D signal is always driven by the TARG (see Table 1.1).

(5) I/O (INPUT/OUTPUT)

The I/O signal specifies the information transmission direction on the data bus. It is also used to

identify the SELECTION phase or RESELECTION phase. This signal is always driven by the TARG (see Table 1.1).

(6) MSG (MESSAGE)

A signal sourced by a target to indicate the MESSAGE phase or a DT DATA phase depending on

whether C/D is true or false. Asserted indicates MESSAGE or DT DATA (see Table 1.1).

(7) REQ (REQUEST)

This is a transmission request from the TARG to the INIT in the INFORMATION TRANSFER

phase.

(8) ACK (ACKNOWLEDGE)

The ACK signal is a response to the REQ signal sent from the INIT to TARG in the

INFORMATION TRANSFER phase.

(9) ATN (ATTENTION)

The ATN signal indicates that the INIT has a message to be sent to the TARG. It is used to

generate an ATTENTION condition.

(10) RST (RESET)

The RST signal is a Reset signal to clear all SCSI devices on the bus (to the RESET condition).

1.3 Physical Requirements

All SCSI devices are connected to each other in a daisy chain. Both ends of the interface cable are

terminated with resistor.

Tables 1.2 and 1.3 define the SCSI bus electrical characteristics (for interface signal

driver/receiver).

A twisted-pair cable must consist of pin n and pin n+1 (where "n" is an odd number) of the

interface connector. Use the SCSI bus cables having the same impedance characteristics to minimize the signal reflection but keep the highest possible transmission characteristics.

If SCSI devices are connected to the terminals other than the interface cable ends, use the cable

branch at the SCSI connectors. No more SCSI cable can be connected to the last SCSI device (which is connected to the SCSI bus) except when it is terminated with the terminator (see Figure

1.11).

The interface cable must have the stub length less than 0.1 meter for the single-ended SCSI cable.

Separate the stabs at least 0.3 meter from each other. (Keep the stab at least 30 cm away from a SCSI device.)

1.4 Electrical Requirements

1.4.1 Single-Ended type

(1) Termination circuit

All signals except for RESERVE, GND, or TERMPWR should be terminated at both ends of the

bus. Each signal should be terminated by one of the following methods. Figures 1.12 and 1.13 show the termination circuit.

a) Each signal must connect to the TERMPWR signal through 220 Ω (within ±5%) resistor, and

connect to ground through 330 Ω (within ±5%) resistor.

b) The termination circuit of each signal shall satisfy the following conditions.

1) The terminators should be powered by the TERMPWR line. The circuit may receive additional power from other sources but not require such additional power for proper operation;

2) Each terminator should source current to the signal line whenever its terminal voltage is below 2.5 VDC and this current should not exceed 22.4 mA for any line voltage at or above 0.5 VDC and 25.4 mA for any line voltage between 0.5 VDC and 0.2 VDC even when all other signal lines are driven at 4.0 VDC;

3) The voltage on all released signal lines should be at least 2.5 VDC;

4) These conditions should be met with any conforming configuration of TARGs and INITs as long as at least one SCSI device is supplying TERMPWR;

5) The terminator at each end of the SCSI bus should add a maximum of 25 pF capacitance to each signal;

6) The terminator may not sour ce current to the signal line whenever its terminal voltage is above 3.24 VDC except terminators may source current when the voltage is above 3.24 VDC in applications where the bus is less than 0.3 m;

Figure 1.12 Single-Ended SCSI termination circuit-1

The HDD uses the terminator circuit satisfying conditions (b) above. The INIT terminator circuit

is also recommended to meet conditions (b) above.

(2) Driver and receiver

For the interface signal driver, an open-collector or tri-state buffer that satisfies the following

output characteristics is used. All signals are negative logic (true = "L").

The receiver and non-driver of the SCSI device under the power-on state should satisfy the

following input characteristics on each signal.

1.4.2 Low-Voltage Differential type

(1) Termination circuit

All signals except for GROUND and TERMPWR should be terminated at both ends of the bus.

Each signal should be terminated. Figure 1.14 shows the termination circuit.

(2) DIFFSENS

a) DIFFSENS driver

The LVD DIFFSENS driver sets a voltage level on the DIFFSENS line that uniquely defines a

LVD transmission mode. LVD terminators and multimode terminators shall provide a LVD DIFFSENS driver according to the specifications in Table 1.8.

b) DIFFSENS receiver

LVD SCSI devices shall incorporate a LVD DIFFSENS receiver that detects the voltage level

on the DIFFSENS line for purposes of informing the device of the transmission mode being used by the bus. The LVD DIFFSENS receiver shall be capable of detecting SE and LVD SCSI devices. Table 1.9 define the receiver input levels for each of the two modes.

Table 1.9 DIFFSENS receiver operating requirements

range Sensed differential drive type

-0.35 ~ +0.5V SE +0.7 ~ +1.9V LVD

The input resistance requirement is for purposes of providing ground reference if no DIFFSENS

drivers are connected to the bus and to ensure that the DIFFSENS receivers do not load the DIFFSENS drivers excessively and to ensure that SE mode is detected.

Devices shall not allow the signal drivers to leave the high impedance state during initial power on

until both of the following conditions are satisfied:

C141-C015 33

Page 40

a) The device is capable of logical operation for at least 100 ms, and

Notes:

The 100 ms delay allows time for the DIFFSENS pin to connect after the initial power connection (in the case of insertion of a device into an active system), or allows time for the power distribution system to settle.

b) The DIFFSENS mode detected has remained stable for an additional 100 ms after a) is

achieved.

A device shall not change its present signal driver or receiver mode based on the DIFFSENS

voltage level unless a new mode is sensed continuously for at least 100 ms.

(3) MATED Signals

If MATED 1 and MATED 2 signals are not mated then one or more short pins are not mated. If

MATED 1 and MATED 2 signals are mated then the mated condition of the short pins is indeterminate. The MATED 1 and MATED 2 signals may indicate to the SCSI device that the SCSI device is seated in an SCA-2 connector and it may begin power on processing. The signal requirements are indicated below, but may be met by the circuit.

a) MATED 2/Drive Side

The signal is attached to signal ground on the SCSI device side.

b) MATED 2/Backplane Side

The signal is attached either directly or through optional logic in such a manner that the

MATED 1 signal is held to a ground level when the MATED 2 connection is completed. The SCSI device shall sink no more than 100 mA to ground through the MATED 2 pin if optional logic is used.

c) MATED 1/Drive Side

The MATED 1 signal shall be sensed by the SCSI device. When the MATED 1 connection is

determined to be at a ground level, the SCSI device may assume that the SCSI device has been partially mated. Assuming the mating process continues uninterrupted until competition, including sensing of the SCSI ID Selection signals and the motor start controls, then normal power on procedures may begin 250 msec after the MATED 1 signal is observed to transition to the ground level. When the MATED 1 connection is determined to be at the open level, the SCSI device is not mated. The MATED 1 signal is tied up to a TTL positive level when the SCSI device is not installed. If the SCSI device is mated and operating, it may optionally detect the open level of MATED 1 as an indication that the SCSI device is partially unmated and may be about to be removed. If the SCSI device supports detection of the open level of MATED 1 to prepare itself for power removal or for physical removal from the enclosure, the detection shall occur within 1 second from the time that the Mated 1 open level occurs at the SCSI device.

34 C141-C015

Page 41

(4) MATED 1/Backplane Side

The signal shall be held to a ground level when the MATED 2 connection is completed. The

MATED 1 signal shall be held to the open level when the MATED 2 connection is not completed.

1.4.3 Internal terminal resistor and power supply for terminating resistor

The TERMPWR signal of the interface connector supplies the power to the terminating resistor

circuit connected to both ends of the cable. To attach a terminating resistor to an external SCSI device or to cut the power of SCSI device having a terminator, the terminator power must be supplied to the TERMPWR line from any of SCSI devices of the bus. The SCSI device (such as a host adapter) which always operates as the INIT should supply the power. The terminating resistor power shall be supplied to the TERMPWR line through a diode to prevent a reverse current.

Table 1.10 lists the requirements for terminating the resistor power supply (Vterm).

1.4.4 Usage in 8-bit/16-bit transfer mode

When the HDD is used as 8-bit SCSI device, it is connected terminating resistor circuit to upper 8-

bit and parity (DB08 to DB15 and DBP1) or short set up pin (CN2 13-14). When the HDD is used as 16-bit SCSI device, leave the set up pin Jumper setting "8/16" open. Table 1.11 shows the guide. Jumper setting is available only for MP series.

is biased.

True A SCSI device drives the signal true

*1 In this manual, the signal is said to be false if one of the following conditions is satisfied.

1. The signal is actually driven by a SCSI device to become false (non-OR-tied type).

2. No SCSI device is driving the signal (OR-tied type or non-OR-tied type).

If the BSY, SEL and RST signals may be driven by two or more SCSI devices simultaneously in

the interface operating sequence, they must be driven in the OR-tied method. All signals except for SEL, BSY, RST and DB(P_CRCA, P1) are not driven by multiple SCSI devices simultaneously.

The SCSI bus can never be in more than one phase at any given time.

Note:

In the following bus phase conditions, signals are false unless otherwise defined. Signals on

the timing charts are assumed to be positive logic (or active high).

1.6.1 BUS FREE phase

All SCSI devices do not use the bus in the BUS FREE phase. SCSI devices shall detect the BUS

FREE phase after SEL and BSY signals are both false for one Bus Settle Delay.

SCSI devices which have detected the BUS FREE phase shall release all bus signals within one

Bus Clear Delay after BSY and SEL signals become false for Bus Settle Delay. If a SCSI device requires more than Bus Settle Delay to detect the BUS FREE phase, it shall release all bus signals within the following period (t):

t = Bus Clear Delay - Period required for BUS FREE phase detection + Bus Settle Delay

The maximum time allowed for releasing the bus after both SEL and BSY becomes false is Bus

Settle Delay + Bus Clear Delay.

Figure 1.25 shows the BUS FREE phase.

60 C141-C015

Figure 1.25 BUS FREE phase

Page 67

The SCSI bus enters the BUS FREE phase when the TARG stops the BSY signal in one of the

following events:

• When RESET condition has been detected.

• When TARG has received the following message normally.

ABORT TASK, ABORT TASK SET, CLEAR TASK SET, LOGICAL UNIT RESET, TARG RESET, CLEAR ACA

• When TARG has transmitted the following message normally.

DISCONNECT, TASK COMPLETE

• When a transceiver mode change.

• When the release of the SEL signal after a SELECTION or RESELECTION phase time-out.

In any case other than above, if the TARG negates the BSY signal to enter a BUS FREE phase,

the TARG informs the INIT that it has detected an ERROR condition of the SCSI bus. The TARG can enter a BUS FREE phase forcibly regardless of ATN signal status; the INIT must treat that phase transition as indicating the abnormal end of command. The TARG clears all hold data or status and terminates the command being executed. It can then create sense data indicating the detailed error condition. If the INIT detects a BUS FREE phase when it is not expected, it should issue a REQUEST SENSE command to read the sense data.

1.6.2 ARBITRATION phase

1.6.2.1 Normal ARBITRATION

The ARBITRATION phase allows one SCSI device to gain control of the SCSI bus. The SCSI

device that gets control of the SCSI bus can start the operation as INIT or TARG.

This is an optional system bus phase. This phase is required for the system that has two or more

INITs or uses the RESELECTION phase.

Arbitration is mandatory and requires the detection of a Bus Free phase on the SCSI bus before

starting.

SCSI device with arbitration fairness enabled shall maintain a fairness register which records the

SCSI IDs of devices that need a chance to arbitrate. (see 1.12).

Fairness in arbitration is enabled in targets by the Disconnect-Reconnect mode page.

Figure 1.26 shows the ARBITRATION phase, and the following explains how the SCSI device

gets control of the SCSI bus.

1) The SCSI device shall wait for BUS FREE phase. (see Section 1.6.1).

2) The SCSI device shall wait at least Bus Free Delay after the BUS FREE phase detection before driving any signal.

C141-C015 61

Page 68

3) Then the SCSI device that arbitrates the bus asserts the DATA BUS bit corresponding to its own SCSI ID and BSY signal (*1) within Bus Set Delay after the last observation of the BUS FREE phase.

4) After waiting at least Arbitration Delay since the SCSI device asserted BSY signal, the SCSI device shall examine the value on the DATA BUS to determine the priority of the bus arbitration (*1).

Bus arbitration priority: DB7 (ID#7) > DB6 (ID#6) >... >DB0 (ID#0) >DB15 (ID#15)

>DB14 (ID#14) >... >DB8 (ID#8)

• When the SCSI device detects any ID bit which is assigned higher priority than its own

SCSI ID, the SCSI device shall release its signals (BSY and its SCSI ID) then may return to step (1).

• The SCSI device which detects no higher SCSI ID bit on the DATA BUS can obtain the

bus control, then it shall assert SEL signal.

• Any other SCSI device that is participating in the ARBITRATION phase shall release its

signals within Bus Clear Delay after SEL signal becomes true, then may return to step (1).

5) The SCSI device which wins arbitration shall wait at least Bus Clear Delay + Bus Settle Delay after asserting SEL signal before changing any signal state.

*1: When an SCSI device sends its SCSI ID to the DATA BUS, it asserts only the bit at the

position corresponding to its own ID and leaves the other or fifteen bits false. The parity bit (DBP_CRCA or DBP1 signal) may be released or asserted, but must not be actively driven false. The parity bit on the DATA BUS is unpredictable during an ARBITRATION phase.

1.6.2.2 QAS ARBITRATION

(1) QAS protocol

QAS allows a TARG with an information unit transfer agreement in effect and QAS enabled (see

2.3.22 that is currently connected to an INIT that has QAS enabled to transfer control of the bus to

another SCSI device that has QAS enabled without an intervening BUS FREE phase. SCSI devices that participate in QAS arbitration shall report that capability in the INQUIRY command.

Before the INIT may use QAS that INIT shall negotiate, using the PPR message, the use of the

QAS phase with each TARG that has indicated support of QAS. Any time the INIT's negotiation required flag is true (see 4.12) that INIT shall renegotiate to enable QAS. SCSI devices that support QAS shall implement the fairness algorithm (see 1.13) during all QAS arbitrations. SCSI devices shall negotiate the use of QAS with a particular SCSI device before using QAS to select or reselect that SCSI device. Also, TARG shall have negotiated the use of QAS with a particular INIT before using QAS REQUEST message to do a physical disconnect from that INIT, and INIT shall have negotiated the use of QAS with a particular TARG before accepting a QAS REQUEST message from that TARG. If the INIT receives a QAS REQUEST message from a TARG that has not negotiated the use of QAS, then the INIT shall create an attention condition for the QAS REQUEST message, and shall report MESSAGE REJECT on the following MESSAGE OUT phase.

In an environment where some SCSI devices have QAS enabled and other SCSI devices do not, it

is possible for the SCSI devices that have QAS enabled to prevent SCSI devices that do not have QAS enabled from arbitrating for the bus. This occurs when SCSI devices that have QAS enabled never go to a BUS FREE phase.

A QAS INIT may interrupt a sequence of QAS cycles to force a normal arbitration with the

following procedure:

1) Perform a QAS arbitration;

2) On winning QAS arbitration, continue driving the INIT ID on the DATA BUS instead of asserting SEL to enter selection phase;

3) Wait until the TARG tran sitions to BUS FREE (i.e., after two QAS arbitration delays);

4) After detecting BSY false, release the DATA BUS; and

5) After one bus settle delay from when the TARG drove BSY false, th e bus is in BUS FREE phase. The INIT port may then arbitrate using normal arbitration and perform a selection if it wins.

(2) QAS phase

The procedure for a TARG with both information unit transfers and QAS enabled to Indicate it

wants to release the bus after a DT DATA phase is as follows:

1) The TARG changes to a MESSAGE IN phase and issue a single QAS REQUEST message (see 2.3.22) and wait for ACK to be true.

2) After detection of the ACK signal being false and if the INIT did not create an attention condition, the TARG releases all SCSI signals except the BSY, MSG, C/D, I/O, and REQ signals. Then the TARG negates the MSG, C/D, and I/O signals within two system deskew delays. The TARG waits two system deskew delays after negating the C/D, I/O, and MSG signals before releasing the REQ signal.

3) If the INIT did not create an attention condition then the INIT shall release all SCSI signals except ACK and ATN within two system deskew delays after detecting MSG, C/D, and I/O signals false.

64 C141-C015

Page 71

4) If the INIT creates an attention conditio n then the TARG will go to a MESSAGE OUT phase, receive all the message bytes, and cause an unexpected bus free by generating a BUS FREE phase.

5) If the TARG detects the SEL signal being true, the TARG will release the BSY, MSG, C/D, and I/O signals within one QAS release delay.

6) After waiting at least one QAS arbitration delay from negating the SCSI MSG, C/D, and I/O signals in step 2), if there are no SCSI ID bits true the TARG will transition to the BUS FREE phase.

7) After waiting at least one QAS arbitration delay from negating the MSG, C/D, and I/O signals in step 2), if there are any SCSI ID bits true the TARG will wait at least a second QAS arbitration delay. If the SEL signal is not true by the end of the second QAS arbitration delay the TARG transitions to the BUS FREE phase.

Note :

The release of MSG, C/D, and I/O may cause release glitches; Step 5) above ensures these

glitches occur at a time when no connection is established on the bus so that they do not interfere with proper operation.

The procedure for a SCSI device with QAS enabled to obtain control of the SCSI bus via QAS is

as follows:

1) The SCSI device shall first wait for MESSAGE IN phase to occur following a DT DATA phase with a single QAS REQUEST message. When the SCSI device detects the ACK signal being false for the QAS REQUEST message and the attention condition is cleared it shall begin the QAS phase.

2) The SCSI device shall wait a minimum of two system deskew delays after detection of the MSG, C/D, and I/O signals being false before driving any signal.

3) Following the delay in step 2), the SCSI device may arbitrate for the SCSI bus by asserting its own SCSI ID within one QAS assertion delay from detection of the MSG, C/D, and I/O signals being false. If arbitration fairness is enabled, the SCSI device shall not arbitrate until its fairness register is cleared.

4) After waiting at least one QAS arbitration delay, measured from the detection of the MSG, C/D, and I/O signals being negated, the SCSI device shall examine the DATA BUS.

A) If no higher priority SCSI ID bit is true on the DATA BUS and the fairness algorithm

allowed the SCSI device to participate, then the SCSI device has won the arbitration and it shall assert the SEL signal.

B) If a higher priority SCSI ID bit is true on the DATA BUS or the fairness algorithm

prevented the SCSI device from participating in QAS arbitration, then the SCSI device has lost the arbitration.

C) Any SCSI device other than the winner has lost the arbitration and shall release its SCSI

ID bit after two system deskew delays and within one QAS release delay after detection of the SEL signal being true. A SCSI device that loses arbitration may return to step 1).

5) The SCSI device that wins arbitration shall wait at least one QAS arbitration delay after asserting the SEL signal before changing any signals.

6) After the QAS arbitration delay in step 4), SCSI devices with arbitration fairness enabled that are not arbitrating shall start sampling the DATA BUS to determine the SCSI devices that are attempting arbitration, the SCSI device that won, and the SCSI devices that lost. This sampling shall continue for one bus settle delay plus two system deskew delays. The SCSI devices shall update their fairness register with all device IDs that lost arbitration.

C141-C015 65

Page 72

The SCSI ID bit is a single bit on the DATA BUS that corresponds to the SCSI device's unique

SCSI address. All other DATA BUS bits shall be released by the SCSI device. The DB(P_CRCA) and DB(P1) are not valid during the QAS phase. During the QAS phase, DB(P_CRCA), and DB(P1) may be released or asserted, but shall not be actively driven false.

Figure 1.27 QAS phase

1.6.3 SELECTION phase

An INIT selects a TARG (a single SCSI unit) in the SELECTION phase.

Note:

I/O signal is false during a SELECTION phase. (The I/O signal identifies the phase as

SELECTION or RESELECTION).

(1) Start sequence without ARBITRATION phase

In systems with the ARBITRATION phase not implemented, the INIT starts the SELECTION

phase in the following sequence (see Figure 1.28).

1) The INIT shall wait for at least Bus Clear Delay after BUS FREE phase detection.

2) Then the INIT asserts SCSI IDs of desired TARG and INIT itself on the DATA BUS.

66 C141-C015

Page 73

Note:

If single INIT operates without the RESELECTION phase, it is allowed to assert only the

TARG's SCSI ID.

3) After waiting at least Deskew Delay × 2, the INIT asserts SEL signal and waits the response (BSY signal) from the TARG.

(2) Start sequence with ARBITRATION phase

In systems with ARBITRATION phase implemented, the INIT starts the SELECTION phase in

the following sequence (see Figure 1.28).

1) The INIT shall wait for at least Bus Clear Delay + Bus Settle Delay after tu rning SEL signal on during the ARBITRATION phase.

2) Then the INIT asserts SCSI IDs of the desired TARG and INIT itself on the DATA BUS.

Note:

If single INIT operates without RESELECTION phase, it is allowed to assert only the TARG's

SCSI ID.

3) The INIT releases BSY signal after waiting at least Deskew Delay × 2. The INIT shall then wait at least Bus Settle Delay before looking for the response (BSY signal) from the TARG.

(3) Selection enabled parity protection and using/without using attention condition

1) The INIT sets the DATA BUS to a value that is the OR of INIT's SCSI ID bit, the TARG's SCSI ID bit, and the appropriate parity bit(s) (i.e., DB(P_CRCA and/or P1)).

2) In the case of selection using attention condition, the INIT should create an attention condition (indicating that a MESSAGE OUT phase is to follow the SELECTION phase).

But in the case of selection without using attention condition, the INIT should clear an

attention condition

3) The INIT waits at least two System Deskew Delays and releases the BSY signal.

4) The INT then wait at least one Bu s Settle Delay before attempting to detect an assertion of the BSY signal from the TARG.

(4) Response sequence

When an SCSI device (TARG) detects that the SEL signal and the data bus bit (DBn)

corresponding to the own SCSI ID are true and both BSY and I/O signals are false for at least Bus Settle Delay, the SCSI device shall recognize that it is selected in the SELECTION phase. At this time, the selected TARG may sample all bits on the SCSI bus to identify the INIT's SCSI ID.

C141-C015 67

Page 74

The TARG must response to the INIT by asserting the BSY signal within Selection Abort Time

since the TARG detects that the TARG is selected. If the SCSI ID with three or more bits is detected, or if a parity error is detected under the system that the parity bit is enabled, the TARG shall not respond to the SELECTION phase.

At least Deskew Delay × 2 after the BSY signal (asserted by the TARG) detection, the INIT shall

release SEL signal. The values on the DATA BUS can be changed after this time.

Note:

When Selection without using attention condition, if an INIT detects an unexpected COMMAND phase, it invalidates all prior negotiations with the selected TARG.

In this case, the INIT should create an attention condition and on the corresponding MESSAGE OUT phase should issue an ABORT TASK message.

On the next selection of the TARG that received the ABORT TASK message the INIT should do a selection using the attention condition.

With using attention condition, if an information unit transfer agreement is in effect for the connecting INIT the TARG proceeds to a MESSAGE OUT phase. If the first message received by the TARG during the MESSAGE OUT phase is not a TARGET RESET message or a PPR message the TARG will change to a MESSAGE IN phase and issue a MESSAGE REJECT message then originate WDTR negotiation with the TRANSFER WIDTH EXPONENT field set to 00h.

(5) Timeout procedure

If the INIT cannot detect the response from TARG when the Selection Timeout Delay or longer

has passed after starting the SELECTION phase, the timeout procedure shall be performed through one of the following schemes:

a) The case of creating Reset condition The INIT should assert the RST signal.

b) The case of no response from the selected TARG

1) The INIT should continue asserting the SEL signal.

2) If the INIT creates an attention condition, The INIT should keep ATN signal asserted.

3) The INIT should release DB(15-0,P_CRCA,and/or P1).

4) If the INIT has not detected the BSY signal to be true after at least one Selection Abort

Time plus two System Deskew Delays, the INIT should release the SEL signal and ATN signal (if Selection using attention condition) allowing the SCSI bus to go to the BUS FREE phase.

5) SCSI devices should ensure that when responding to selection was still valid within one

Selection Abort Time of their assertion of the BSY signal.

6) Failure to comply with this requirement could result in an improper selection (two TARG

connected to the same INIT, wrong TARG connected to an INIT, or a TARG connected to no INIT).

1.6.4 RESELECTION phase

The SCSI device operated as a TARG selects an INIT in the RESELECTION phase. This phase

is an option for the system, and this phase can only be used in systems with the ARBITRATION phase implemented.

When the TARG re-starts the command processing under the disconnection on the SCSI bus, the

TARG reconnects with the INIT using this phase.

(1) Start sequence

A TARG performs the RESELECTION phase in the following sequence after obtaining control of

the SCSI bus through the ARBITRATION phase (see Figure 1.29).

(a) Parity Protection is disabled

1) TARG waits at least Bus Clear Delay + Bus Settle Delay after asserting the SEL signal in

the ARBITRATION phase.

2) The TARG asserts the I/O signal with sending the SCSI IDs of the TARG itself and INIT

to the SCSI bus (the SCSI device that gets the bus usage right by asserting the I/O signal is recognized as a TARG).

3) The TARG releases the BSY signal after waiting at least Deskew Delay × 2, and the

TARG shall then wait the response (BSY signal) from the INIT after at least Bus Settle Delay passed.

(b) Parity Protection Enabled

1) The SCSI device that won arbitration has both the BSY and SEL signals asserted and has

delayed at least one Bus Clear Delay plus one Bus Settle Delay before ending the ARBITRATION phase.

2) The SCSI device that won arbitration identifies itself as a TARG by asserting the I/O

signal.

3) The TARG also sets the DATA BUS to a value that is the logical OR of TARG's SCSI ID

bit, the INIT's SCSI ID bit and the appropriate parity bit(s).

4) The TARG waits at least two System Deskew Delays and releases the BSY signal.

5) The TARG then waits at least one Bus Settle Delay before attempting to detect an

assertion of the BSY signal by the INIT.

70 C141-C015

Page 77

(2) Response sequence

If a SCSI unit (INIT to be selected) detects the SEL and I/O signals and data bus bit (DBn)

corresponding to the own SCSI ID are all true and if it detects the BSY signal which is false for at least Bus Settle Delay, the SCSI unit shall recognize that it is selected in the RESELECTION phase. At this time, the selected INIT samples all bits on the data bus to identify the TARG's SCSI ID.

The INIT shall respond to the TARG by asserting the BSY signal within Selection Abort Time

from the INIT detects that it is selected.

If the SCSI ID in other than two or bits is detected on the data bus or if a parity error is detected

on the system where the parity bit is enabled on the data bus, the INIT shall not respond to the RESELECTION phase.

When TARG detects the response (BSY signal) from INIT, the TARG asserts BSY signal and

waits at least Deskew Delay × 2, then the TARG releases SEL signal. At this time, the TARG may change the I/O signal state and value on the SCSI bus.

The INIT shall release the BSY signal after making sure that the SEL signal becomes false.

The TARG should continue asserting the BSY signal until the TARG relinquishes the SCSI bus.

Note:

When the TARG is asserting the BSY signal, a transmission line phenomenon known as a wired-OR glitch may cause the BSY signal to appear false for up to a round-trip propagation delay following the release of the BSY signal by the INIT.

This is the reason why the BUS FREE phase is recognized only after both the BSY and SEL signals are continuously false for a minimum of one Bus Settle Delay.

C141-C015 71

Page 78

(3) Timeout procedure

If the TARG cannot detect a response (BSY signal) from the INIT when the Selection Timeout

Delay or longer has passed after starting the RESELECTION phase, the timeout procedure shall be performed though one of the following schemes:

1) The TARG asserts the TRUE signal and generates an RESET condition.

2) The INIT maintains SEL and I/O signals true and stops sending the SCSI ID to the data bus. Subsequently, the INIT waits for the response from TARG for at least Selection Abort Time + Deskew Delay × 2. If no response is detected, the INIT releases the SEL and I/O signals allowing the SCSI bus to go to the BUS FREE phase. If the INIT detects the response from the TARG during this period, the INIT considers the SELECTION phase to have completed normally.

The HDD performs process 2) above as RESELECTION phase time-out processing.

1.6.5 INFORMATION TRANSFER phases

The COMMAND, DATA, STATUS and MESSAGE phases are generally called the

INFORMATION TRANSFER phase. This phase can transfer the control information and data between the INIT and TARG via the data bus.

The type of INFORMATION TRANSFER phase is determined by the combination of C/D, I/O,

and MSG signals (see Table 1.1). Since these three signals are specified by the TARG, phase transition is controlled by the SCSI device operating as a TARG. The INIT can request the TARG to initiate a MESSAGE OUT phase by sending an ATN signal. Besides, the TARG can change the bus phase to BUS FREE by ceasing the transmission of BSY signal.

During INFORMATION TRANSFER phase, the information transfer is controlled by the REQ

and ACK signals. The TARG sends the REQ signal to request for information transfer, and the INIT responds to it with the ACK signal. A pair of REQ and ACK signals is used to transfer a single-byte information on the 8-bit SCSI bus or two-byte information on the 16-bit SCSI bus. There are two types of information transfer modes: synchronous and asynchronous transfer modes. They differ from each other by their REQ signal transmission and ACK signal response methods (called the REQ/ACK handshaking). Also, the 16-bit SCSI bus can transfer 16-bit wide data only in the DATA phase.

The 16-bit SCSI bus can transfer 16-bit wide data only in the DATA phase except alternate error

detection for the asynchronous information phase (COMMAND, MESSAGE and STATUS). The detail of these phases is described below section.

The target shall not transition into an information transfer phase unless the REQ/ACK signals are

negated. The target shall not transition from an information transfer phase into another information transfer phase unless the REQ/ACK signals are negated. During INFORMATION TRANSFER phase, the TARG shall keep the BSY signal true but keep the SEL signal false. The TARG shall establish the status of C/D, I/O and MSG signals (which determine the phase type) at least Bus Settle Delay before the leading edge of REQ signal which requests to transfer the first byte. The TARG shall keep the status until it detects the trailing edge of the ACK signal which corresponds to the last byte in that phase (see Figure 1.30).

Figure 1.30 INFORMATION TRANSFER phase (phase control)

C141-C015 73

Page 80

Notes:

1. After the ACK signal becomes false in the current INFORMATION TRANSFER phase,

the TARG can start preparing a new phase by changing the status of C/D, I/O and MSG signals. The status of these three signals can change in any order or at once. The status of one signal may change more than once; however, the TARG should change the status of each signal only once.

2. A new INFORMATION TRANSFER phase starts when the REQ signal requesting to

transfer the first byte in that phase becomes true. The phase ends when one of C/D, I/O and MSG signals changes after the ACK signal has changed to false. The period after the end of phase to the start of next phase (which starts when the REQ signal becomes true) is not defined.

3. The INIT can predict the next new phase (expected phase) by reading the status change

of C/D, I/O or MSG signal or by reading the type of previously executed phase. However, the expected phase is made valid only when the REQ signal is changed to true.

1.6.5.1 Asynchronous transfer mode

In asynchronous transfer mode, the INIT and TARG control the information transfer by checking

the status change of REQ and ACK signals (between true and false state) by each other (it is called the interlock control). The asynchronous transfer can be used in all types of INFORMATION TRANSFER phase (such as COMMAND, DATA, STATUS and MESSAGE). Figure 1.31 shows the timing of asynchronous transfer.

If the wide mode data transfer is established between the INIT and TARG, the two-byte data

(DB15 to DB0, DBP1, DBP_CRCA) is transferred on the 16-bit SCSI bus. Otherwise, singlebyte data (DB7 to DB0, DBP_CRCA) is transferred.

a. Transfer from TARG to INIT

The TARG determines the information transfer direction by the I/O signal. If the I/O signal is

true, the information of the data bus is transferred from the TARG to the INIT. The following explains the information transfer sequence.

1) The TARG asserts the REQ signal at least one System Deskew Delay + Cable Skew

Delay after sending valid information on the data bus. It must maintain the state of the data bus until the ACK signal becomes true on the TARG.

2) The INIT fetches the data from the data bus after the REQ signal becomes true. It asserts

the ACK signal to report the completion of reception.

3) After the ACK signal becomes true on the TARG, the TARG negates the REQ signal and

the TARG may change or release the DB(7-0, P_CRCA) or DB(15-0, P_CRCA, P1) signals.

4) The INIT negates the ACK signal after the REQ signal becomes false.

5) After the ACK signal becomes false, the TARG proceeds to the next byte transfer stage.

74 C141-C015

Page 81

Page 82

b. Transfer from INIT to TARG

When the I/O signal is false, the information of the data b us is transferred from the INIT to the

TARG. The following explains the information transfer sequence.

1) The TARG asserts the REQ signal to request the INIT for information transfer.

2) The INIT asserts the ACK signal at least one System Deskew Delay + Cable Skew Delay

after sending valid information of the requested type on the data bus. The information on the data bus must be maintained until the REQ signal becomes false on the INIT.

3) The TARG fetches data from the data bus after the ACK signal becomes true, and

negates the REQ signal to report the completion of reception.

4) When the REQ signal becomes false on the INIT, the INIT negates the ACK signal.

After that, the INIT may release or change the DB(7-0, P_CRCA) or DB(15-0, P_CRCA, P1) signals.

5) After the ACK signal becomes false, the TARG proceeds to the next byte transfer stage.

c. Improved Error Detection for the Asynchronous Information Phases (AIP)

The COMMAND, MESSAGE and STATUS asynchronous information transfer phases except

DATA phase only transfer information on the lower eight data bits of a SCSI bus with only normal parity protection on those transfers. In this improved detection additional check information can be transferred on the upper eight data bits. This error detection can improve error detection capabilities. Since the upper eight data bits of the SCSI bus are used for this scheme, this error detection method is only available on wide SCSI devices that are on wide SCSI buses.

The additional check information is called "protection code". This code contains 21-bit code

word and covered signals of the 16-bit SCSI data bus. Protection code checking is enabled or disabled on an I_T nexus basis. Protection code checking is disabled in the following case:

- After a power cycle

- After a hard reset

- After a TARGET RESET message

- After a change in the transceiver mode (i.e, LVD mode to MSE mode)

A SCSI device enables protection code checking for an I_T nexus when it detects that valid

protection code data is being transmitted on the upper byte of the SCSI bus. The following are some possible times when a SCSI device could try to enable protection code checking:

- During the first COMMAND, MESSAGE or STATUS phase

- After a UNIT ATTENTION condition

- During the MESSAGE phase of a negotiation

Protection code errors are handled exactly parity errors during COMMAND, MESSAGE or

STATUS phases. But this parity error outputs will be logically OR'd into the existing parity error logic. There are the some kinds of "parity error" as follows:

- DT mode CRC error

- DBP1, DB15-8 negated

- DBP1, P_CRCA parity error

- Protection code error

The kind of parity error isn't determined and when the device detected parity error, the device

proceeds to the next procedure without retry. The detail of the procedure is discribed in CHAPTER 3, ERROR RECOVERY.

1.6.5.2 Synchronous mode

Synchronous data transfer is optional and is only used in DATA phases. It shall be used in a

DATA phase if a synchronous data transfer agreement has been established. The agreement specifies the REQ/ACK offset and the minimum transfer period.

When synchronous data transfers are being used data may be transferred using ST data transfers

or, optionally, DT data transfers. DT data transfers shall only be used on 16 bit wide buses that transmit and receive data using LVD transceivers.

The synchronous transfer mode allows information transfer with REQ and ACK signal check by

their pulse count (called the offset interlock). This mode can be used in the DATA phase only.

4 C141-C015

Page 85

Note:

1. The HDD supports up to 20 MHz (40 MHz on LVD) of synchronous data transfer (see

Table 1.7).

2. The default data transfer mode is asynchronous. When the power is first turned on, the

system is reset, or after the TARGET RESET message has been issued, data is transferred in the asynchronous mode only. It continues until the synchronous transfer mode is selected by the message exchange explained below.

(1) ST synchronous data transfer

The ST synchronous data transfer is available only when it has been defined between the INIT and

TARG by exchanging the SYNCHRONOUS DATA TRANSFER REQUEST or PARALLEL PROTOCOL REQUEST message with each other. The following data transfer parameters are determined and the possible transfer rates between the SCSI units are defined by this message exchange.

• REQ/ACK Offset: Number of REQ signals that the TARG can send before receiving the ACK signal.

• Transfer Period: Minimum repetition cycle of REQ and ACK signals.

The TARG can send multiple REQ signal pulses before receiving an ACK signal response if these

pulses do not exceed the limit specified by the REQ/ACK Offset parameter. When the difference between the REQ and ACK signal pulses has reached this limit at the TARG, the TARG shall not send a REQ pulse until it receives the leading edge of the next ACK pulse. The data transfer in DATA phase can complete normally only when the REQ and ACK signal pulses become equal to each other.

(a) The case of the I/O signal is true (transfer to the INIT)

1) The TARG first drives the DB(7-0,P_CRCA) or DB(15-0,P_CRCA,P1) signals to their

values.

2) The TARG waits at least one Transmit Setup Time.

3) The TARG asserts the REQ signal.

4) The DB(7-0,P_CRCA) or DB(15-0,P_CRCA,P1) signals are held valid for a minimum of

one Transmit Hold Time after the assertion of the REQ signal.

5) The TARG asserts the REQ signal for a minimum of one Transmit Assertion Period.

6) The TARG may then negate the REQ signal and change or release the DB(7-0,P_CRCA)

or DB(15-0,P_CRCA,P1) signals.

7) The INIT reads the value on the DB(7-0,P_CRCA) or DB(15-0,P_CRCA,P1) signals

within one Receive Hold Time of the transition of the REQ signal to true.

8) The INIT then responds with an ACK assertion.

(b) The case of the I/O signal is false (transfer to the TARG)

within one Receive Hold Time of the transition of the ACK signal to true.

(2) DT synchronous data transfer

When a DT data transfer agreement has been established the target shall only use the DT DATA

IN phase and DT DATA OUT phase for data transfers. The DT synchronous data transfer is available only when it has been defined between the INIT and TARG by exchanging the PARALLEL PROTOCOL REQUEST message with each other.

During DT data transfers data shall be clocked on both the assertion and negation of the REQ and

ACK signal lines. References to REQ/ACK transitions in this subclause refer to either an assertion or a negation of the REQ or ACK signal.

The REQ/ACK offset specifies the maximum number of REQ transitions that shall be sent by the

target in advance of the number of ACK transitions received from the initiator, establishing a pacing mechanism. If the number of REQ transitions exceeds the number of ACK transitions by the REQ/ACK offset, the target shall not transition the REQ signal until after the next ACK transition is received. For successful completion of the DT DATA phase the number of ACK and REQ transitions shall be equal and both REQ and ACK shall be negated.

Note:

The differences from the ST DATA Synchronous mode are the following: (ST DATA Sync

Mode)

1. Only LVD, up to Fast-80 transfer (up to Fast-20, Fast-40 on LVD)

2. 16 bits transfer only (Either 8 bit or 16 bit transfer is available)

3. MSG signal is asserted (MSG signal negated)

4. P_CRCA, P1 signals are used as Data Group Transfer enabled.

5. Both edges of the REQ / ACK are available in the data transmission (Only trailing edge is

available)

Data group contains three fields. They are Data field, Pad field, pCRC field. The following

description is about each field transfer.

(a) Data Group Data field transfer from TARG to INIT

The TARG specifies the data transfer direction using the I/O signal. When the I/O signal is true,

data is transferred from the TARG to the INIT. And MSG signal determines the kind of DATA phase. When the MSG signal is true, the DATA phase is DT DATA phase. The following explains the transmission sequence. The target shall not transition the REQ signal when the P_CRCA signal is asserted for the current data group until the initiator has responded with all ACK transitions for the previous data groups.

1) TARG d rives the DB(15-0) signals to their desired values and shall negate the P_CRCA

signal.

2) TARG waits at least the longer of a pCRC transmit setup time from the negation of

P_CRCA or a transmit setup time from DB(15-0) signals being driven with valid data.

3) TARG transits the REQ signal and holds the DB(15-0) signals valid for a minimum of a

transmit hold time and the P_CRCA signal for a minimum of a pCRC transmit hold time.

4) TARG holds the REQ signal for at least a transmit assrttion period if asserted or a

transmit negation period if negated.

8 C141-C015

Page 89

5) INIT fetches the values from DB(15-0) signals within a receive hold time of the transition

of the REQ signal and it also fetches the value from the P_CRCA signal within a p CRC receive hold time of the transition of the REQ signal. Then INIT responds with an ACK transition.

(b) Data Group Data field transfer from INIT to TARG

When the I/O signal is false, data is transferred from the INIT to the TARG. Other condition is the

same in the section (a).

1) INIT drives the DB(15-0) signals to their desired values after detecting a REQ transition

with P_CRCA signal negated.

2) INIT waits at least a transmit setup time and transits ACK signal.

3) INIT holds the DB(15-0) signals valid for at least a transmit hold time and ACK signal

for a minimum of a transmit assertion period if asserted or a transmit negation period if negated.

4) TARG fetches the value of the DB(15-0) signals within a receive hold time of the

transition of the ACK.

The target determines a pad field is required if the I/O signal is true, the target has completed the

data field transfer of the current data group, and REQ signal is asserted. (Pad field required)

1) TARG waits at least one pCRC transmit hold time since the last REQ assertion to assert

P_CRCA.

2) TARG waits at least one transmit hold time since the last REQ assertion to assert the

DB(15-0) signals to their desired pad values.

3) TARG waits at least the longer of a pCRC transmit setup time from the assertion of

P_CRCA or a transmit setup time from DB(15-0) being driven with valid pad data.

4) TARG waits until the initiator has responded with all ACK transitions for the previous

data group.

5) TARG waits at least one transmit REQ assertion period with P_CRCA transitioning since

the last REQ assertion.

6) TARG negates the REQ signal hold the DB(15-0) signals valid for a minimum of one

transmit hold time and holds the REQ signal negated for a minimum of a transmit negation period.

7) TARG drives the DB(15-0) signals to their desired pCRC values and waits at least one

transmit setup time.

8) TARG asserts the REQ signal and holds the DB(15-0) signals for a minimum of one

transmit hold time and the REQ signal asserted for a minimum of a transmit assertion period.

1-9 C141-C007

Page 90

9) TARG drives the DB(15-0) signals to their desired pCRC values and waits at least one

transmit setup time.

10) TARG negates the REQ signal and holds the DB(15-0) signals for a minimum of one

transmit hold time and the P_CRCA signal asserted for at least a pCRC transmit hold time.

11) TARG holds the REQ signal negated for at least one transmit REQ negation period with

P_CRCA transitioning since the last REQ negation.

If the target determines no pad field is required, the the transmission sequence is the following

way.

1) TARG waits at least one pCRC transmit hold time since the last REQ negation to assert

P_CRCA.

2) TARG waits at least one transmit hold time since the last REQ negation to assert the

DB(15-0) signals to their desired pCRC values.

3) TARG waits at least the longer of a pCRC transmit setup time from the assertion of

P_CRCA or a transmit setup time from DB(15-0) being driven with valid pCRC data.

4) TARG waits until the INIT has responded with all ACK transitions for the previous data

group.

5) TARG waits at least one transmit REQ negation period with P_CRCA transitioning since

the last REQ negation.

6) TARG asserts the REQ signal and holds the DB(15-0) signals valid for a minimum of one

transmit hold time and the REQ signal asserted for a minimum of a transmit assertion period.

7) TARG drives the DB(15-0) signals to their desired pCRC values and waits at least one

transmit setup time.

8) TARG negates the REQ signal and holds the DB(15-0) signals for a minimum of one

transmit hold time and the P_CRCA signal asserted for a minimum of one pCRC transmit hold time.

9) TARG holds the REQ signal negated for at least one transmit REQ negation period with

P_CRCA transitioning since the last REQ negation.

After either of the above sequence is complete the TARG has ended a data Group.

INIT fetches the values from the DB(15-0) signals within one receive hold time of the REQ

signal. And then responds with an ACK transition.

The INIT continues to use the pad bytes, if any, for checking again st the computed pCRC for

the current data group. Upon receipt of the last byte of the pCRC field, the received pCRC and computed pCRC shall be compared. If they do match (i.e., no pCRC error). then the INIT negates the ACK signal.

10 C141-C015

Page 91

If received pCRC and computed pCRC do not match (i.e., a pCRC error is detected), or if an

improperly formatted data group is transferred, then the INIT creates an attention condition or before the last transfer of the pCRC field. When th e TARG switches to a MESSAGE OUT phase the INIT sends an INITIATOR DETECTED ERROR message to the TARG. This message notifies the TARG that data contained within the data group was invalid.

If the TARG does not retry transferring the information transfer or it exhausts its retry limit

the TARG goes into a STATUS phase and send a CHECK CONDITION status with a sense key set to ABORTED COMMAND and an additional sense code set to INITIATOR DETECTED ERROR MESSAGE RECEIVED for the task associated with the received INITIATOR DETECTED ERROR message.

(d) Data Group Pad field and pCRC field transfer from INIT to TARG

If the I/O signal is false (transfer to the target), the INIT determines the data field transfer is

complete by detecting an assertion of the P_CRCA signal. If the REQ signal is asserted (i.e., pad field required) the INIT shall first transfer the two pad bytes, then the four pCRC bytes. If the REQ signal is negated (i.e., no pad field required) the INIT shall transfer the four pCRC bytes.

Pad field data and pCRC field data are transferred using the same negotiated values as the data

field data.

The TARG may continue to send REQs, up to the negotiated offset, for the next data group. The

TARG shall not transition REQ with P_CRCA asserted until the initiator has responded with all ACK transitions for the previous data group.

When the INIT detects an assertion of the P_CRCA signal and the REQ signal is asserted (i.e.,

pad field required), the transmission sequence is the following way.

1) Transfer data bytes for all outstanding REQs received prior to the REQ that had the

P_CRCA signal asserted. INIT drives the DB(15-0) signals to their desired pad values.

2) INIT delays at least one transmit setup time, negates the ACK signal and holds the

DB(15-0) signals valid for a minimum of one transmit hold time and the ACK signal negated for a minimum of a transmit assertion period.

3) INIT drives the DB(15-0) signals to their desired pCRC values, delays at least one

transmit setup time, asserts the ACK signal and holds the DB(15-0) signals valid for a minimum of one transmit hold time and the ACK signal asserted for a minimum of a transmit assertion period.

4) INIT drives the DB(15-0) signals to their desired pCRC values and delays at least one

transmit setup time.

5) INIT negates the ACK signal and holds the DB(15-0) signals valid for a minimum of one

transmit hold time and the ACK signal negated for a minimum of a transmit assertion period.

1-11 C141-C007

Page 92

When the INIT detects an assertion of the P_CRCA signal and the REQ signal is negated (i.e., no

pad field required),

1) INIT transfers data bytes for all outstanding REQs received prior to the REQ that had the

P_CRCA signal asserted. INIT drives the DB(15-0) signals to their desired pCRC values.

2) INIT delays at least one transmit setup time, asserts the ACK signal and holds the DB(15-

0) signals valid for a minimum of one transmit hold time and the ACK signal asserted for a minimum of a transmit assertion period.

3) INIT driv es the DB(15-0) signals to their desired pCRC values and d elays at least one

transmit setup time.

4) INIT negates the ACK signal and holds the DB(15-0) signals valid for a minimum of one

transmit hold time and the ACK signal negated for a minimum of a transmit assertion period.

After either of the above sequence is complete the TARG has ended a data group.

As a result of a data group always being an even number of transfers, the REQ and ACK

signals are negated both before and after the transmission of the data group. The TARG fetches the value of the DB(15-0) signals within one receive hold time of the transition of the ACK signal.

The INIT uses the pad bytes, if any, in the generation of the tran smitted pCRC. Th e TARG

then uses those pad bytes, if any, for checking against the computed pCRC for the current data group. Upon receipt of the last byte of the pCRC field, the received pCRC and computed pCRC is compared.

If received pCRC and computed pCRC do not match (i.e., a pCRC error is detected), or if an

improperly formatted data group is transferred, then the associated data group is considered invalid.

If the TARG does not retry transferring the information transfer or it exhausts its retry limit

the TARG goes into a STATUS phase and send a CHECK CONDITION status with a sense key set to ABORTED COMMAND and an additional sense code set to SCSI PARITY ERROR for the task associated with the pCRC error.

1.6.5.3 Paced transfer

(1) Paced transfer overview

If a paced transfer agreement has been established it shall be used in DT DATA phase and

information unit transfers shall be used. The transfer agreement also specifies the REQ/ACK offset and the transfer period.

When paced transfers are being used data shall be transferred using DT data transfers on 16-bit

wide buses that transmit and receive data using LVD transceivers.

If driver precompensation is enabled at the SCSI device, that SCSI device shall apply driver

precompensation to all the data, parity, REQ, and ACK signals.

During paced DT data transfers, if the phase of the P1 signal indicates data is valid (see 1.6.5.3.3)

on REQ or ACK assertions, data shall be clocked by the originating SCSI device by both the assertion and negation of the REQ or ACK signal lines. The receiving SCSI device shall clock DT data on both the assertion and negation of the REQ or ACK signal line after having been processed by the receiving SCSI device. If the phase of the P1 signal indicates data is invalid on REQ or ACK assertions, data shall not be clocked by the originating SCSI device and shall be ignored by the receiving SCSI device. If driver precompensation is enabled at the originating SCSI device, the originating SCSI device shall apply driver precompensation to all the data signals, the P_CRCA signal, the P1 signal, and the REQ, and or ACK signal. For paced DT DATA IN phases the REQ/ACK offset specifies the maximum number of data valid state REQ assertions that shall be sent by the TARG in advance of the number of ACK assertions received from the INIT. If the number of data valid state REQ assertions exceeds the number of ACK assertions by the REQ/ACK offset, the TARG will change P1 to enable the data invalid state prior to the next assertion of REQ and will not change P1 to en able a data valid state until after the next ACK assertion is received. For successful completion of a paced DT DATA IN phase the number of data valid state REQ assertions and ACK assertions shall be equal. Each assertion indicates a single 32-bit data transfer.

For paced DT DATA OUT phases the REQ/ACK offset specifies the maximum number of REQ

assertions that will be sent by the TARG in advance of the number of data valid state ACK assertions received from the INIT. If the number of REQ assertions exceeds the number of data valid state ACK assertions by the REQ/ACK offset, the TARG will not assert REQ until after the next data valid state ACK assertion is received. For successful completion of a paced DT DATA OUT phase the number of REQ assertions and data valid state ACK assertions shall be equal. Each assertion indicates a single 32-bit data transfer. Implementors shall not use the following subclauses for timing requirements.

(2) Paced transfer training pattern

If retain training information is disabled a training pattern shall be transferred at the start of the

first DT data phase for each data transfer direction after each physical connect and physical reconnect. The training pattern shall not be transferred again until after a physical disconnection occurs.

If the retain training information is enabled a training pattern shall be transferred at the start of the

first DT data phase for each data transfer direction after the retain training information is enabled. The SCSI device shall save training configuration values for each I_T nexus that has negotiated to retain training information. The SCSI device shall use the saved training configuration values for all paced transfers. The TARG retrains an I_T nexus if it determines the training configuration values are invalid, without having to renegotiate the retain training information protocol option.

14 C141-C015

Page 95

If the retain training information is enabled and a port changes from a INIT to a TARG that

TARG shall retrain if the saved training configuration values were saved while the port was a INIT.

The receiving SCSI device shall use some or all elements of the training pattern to achieve

deskewing. The transmitting SCSI device shall not make an intentional shift in relative timing between the data bus signals and the REQ or ACK signal during the DT data phase.

Note :

The requirement to not intentionally change relative timing does not include the effects of ISI,

noise, or jitter.

The training pattern consists of three sections; A, B, and C. Each section contains a different

pattern that may be used to train circuits within a receiver.

(a) DT DATA IN phase training pattern

The TARG indicates a training pattern is going to occur on a DT DATA IN phase by:

1) Releasing SEL for a minimum of two system deskew delays;

2) asserting the SEL signal a minimum of two system deskew delays; and

3) then asserting the REQ signal.

The TARG begins the section A of its training sequence by transmitting the following training

pattern:

Start of section A:

1) if precompensation is enabled then set the drivers to the strong driver state;

2) simultaneously assert REQ, P1, P_CRCA, and DB(15-0) signals;

3) wait the equivalent of 32 transfer periods (e.g., 200 ns at fast-160);

4) simultaneously negate REQ, P1, P_CRCA, and DB(15-0) sig nals;

5) wait the equivalent of 32 transfer periods;

6) set precompensation to negotiated state;

7) negate SEL signal;

8) simultaneously assert and negate REQ, P1, P_CRCA, and DB(15-0 ) signals at the

negotiated transfer period 64 times, (e.g., (2 x 6,25 ns) x 64 = 800 ns at fast-160);

Start of section B:

1) wait the equivalent of 192 transfer periods from the first assertion of REQ in step 2 of

section A (e.g., 1200 ns at fast-160);

1-15 C141-C007

Page 96

2) keep the P1, P_CRCA, and DB(15-0) signals negated while continuing to assert and

negate REQ at the negotiated transfer period for the equivalent of 8 transfer periods (e.g., 50 ns at fast-160);

3) keep the P1, P_CRCA, DB(15-0), and REQ signals negated for the equivalent of 8

additional transfer periods;

4) simultaneously assert and negate P1, P_CRCA, and DB(15-0 ) signals at twice the

negotiated transfer period (i.e., simultaneously repeat a 1100b bit pattern 12 times on each signal) while asserting and negating REQ at the negotiated transfer period 24 times (e.g., (2 x 6,25 ns) x 24 = 300 ns at fast-160);

Start of section C:

5) assert and negate REQ at the negotiated transfer period 64 times and at the same time

assert and negate P1 at twice the negotiated transfer period while repeating a 0000010011111011b bit pattern eight times on each of the P_CRCA and DB(15-0) signals (e.g., (2 x 6,25 ns) x 64 = 800 ns at fast-160); and

The INIT shall begin its training pattern independent of the start of the TARGs training pattern if

it detects the SEL, MSG, and I/O true and C/D false on the first assertion of the REQ signal. The INIT shall transmit the following training pattern:

1) assert ACK signal within 200 ns of the first REQ assertion;

2) if precompensation is enabled then set the drivers to the strong driver state;

3) wait the equivalent of 32 transfer periods (e.g., 200 ns at fast-160);

4) negate ACK signal;

5) wait the equivalent of 32 transfer periods (e.g., 200 ns at fast-160);

6) set precompensation to negotiated state; and

7) assert and negate ACK signal at the negotiated transfer period 32 times, (e.g., (2 x 6,25)

x 32 = 400 ns at fast-160).

At the completion of its training pattern the TARG continues asserting and negating the REQ

signal at the negotiated transfer period (e.g., 6,25 ns transfer period at fast-160) and the P1 signal at twice the negotiated transfer period (e.g., 12,5 ns transfer period at fast-160). When the TARG is ready to transfer data it shall reverse the phase of P1.

16 C141-C015

Page 97

Figure 1.34 DT DATA IN phase training pattern

(b) DT DATA OUT phase training pattern

The TARG requests a training pattern on a DT DATA OUT phase by asserting the SEL signal a

minimum of two system deskew delays before asserting the REQ signal. The TARG begins its training sequence by transmitting the following training pattern:

1) if precompensation is enabled then set the drivers to the strong driver state;

2) simultaneously assert REQ and P_CRCA signals;

3) wait the equivalent of 32 transfer periods (e.g., 200 ns at fast-160);

4) simultaneously negate REQ and P_CRCA signals;

5) wait 32 the equivalent of transfer periods (e.g., 200 ns at fast-160);

6) set precompensation to negotiated state;

7) negate SEL signal;

8) simultaneously assert and negate REQ and P_CRCA signals at the neg otiated transfer

period 32 times, (e.g., (2 x 6,25) x 32 = 400 ns at fast-160);

9) negate REQ and P_CRCA for at least the equivalent of 16 transfer periods (e.g., 100 ns

at fast-160); and

10) the TARG shall begin asserting and negating REQ to indicate to the INIT valid data may

be sent. The number of REQ assertions shall not exceed the negotiated REQ/ACK offset.

1-17 C141-C007

Page 98

The INIT shall begin the section A of its training pattern independent of the start of the TARGs

training pattern if it detects the SEL and MSG true, and C/D and I/O false on the first assertion of the REQ signal. The INIT shall transmit the following training pattern:

Start of section A:

1) if precompensation is enabled then set the drivers to the strong driver state;

2) simultaneously assert ACK, P1, and DB(15-0) signals within the equivalent of 32

transfer periods of the first REQ assertion (e.g., 200 ns at fast-160);

3) wait the equivalent of 32 transfer periods (e.g., 200 ns at fast-160);

4) simultaneously negate ACK, P1, and DB(15-0) signals;

5) wait the equivalent of 32 transfer periods;

6) set precompensation to negotiated state;

7) simultaneously assert and negate ACK, P1, and DB(15-0) signals at the negotiated

transfer period 64 times, (e.g., (2 x 6,25) x 64 = 800 ns at fast-160);

Start of section B:

1) wait the equivalent of 192 transfer periods from the first assertion of ACK in step 2 of

section A (e.g., 1200 ns at fast-160);

2) keep the P1, and DB(15-0) signals negated while continuing to assert and negate ACK at

the negotiated transfer period for the equivalent of 8 transfer periods (e.g., 50 ns at fast-

160);

3) keep the P1, DB(15-0), and ACK signals negated for the equivalent of 8 additional

transfer periods;

4) simultaneously assert and negate P1 and DB(15-0) signals at twice the negotiated transfer

period (i.e., simultaneously repeat a 1100b bit pattern 12 times on each signal) while asserting and negating ACK at the negotiated transfer period 24 times (e.g., (2 x 6,25 ns) x 24 = 300 ns at fast-160); and

Start of section C:

5) assert and negate ACK at the negotiated transfer period 64 times and at the same time

assert and negate P1 at twice the negotiated transfer period while repeating a 0000010011111011b bit pattern eight times on each of the DB(15-0) signals (e.g., (2 x 6,25 ns) x 64 = 800 ns at fast-160).

At the completion of its training pattern the INIT continues asserting and negating the ACK signal

at the negotiated transfer period (e.g., 6,25 ns transfer period at fast-160) and the P1 signal at twice the negotiated transfer period (e.g., 12,5 ns transfer period at fast-160). When the INIT is ready to transfer data and the REQ/ACK offset value is not zero it shall reverse the phase of P1.

18 C141-C015

Page 99

Figure 1.35 DT DATA OUT phase training pattern

(3) P1 data valid/invalid state transitions

The transmitting SCSI device port shall indicate the start of a data valid state by reversing the

phase of the P1 signal coincident with a REQ or ACK assertion. This is accomplished by withholding the next transition of P1 at the start of the first two transfer periods of valid data. Beginning with the third valid data word, P1 shall be toggled every two transfer periods, coincident with a REQ or ACK assertion. The minimum duration of the data valid state is two transfer periods, and the data valid state shall consist of an even number of transfer periods. Anytime the sending SCSI device port pauses the sending of data, it shall reverse the phase of P1 by withholding the next transition of P1 at the start of the first two transfer periods that have invalid data.

Beginning with the third transfer period with invalid data, P1 shall be toggled every two transfer

periods until valid data is sent. The data invalid state shall hav e at least one transition of P1 before changing states. The minimum data invalid time is four transfer periods. This ensures a maximum run length of three cycles for P1. The data invalid state shall last an even number of transfer periods.

From the data invalid state, the sending SCSI device port may resume sending data by reversing

the phase of P1 again.

P1 has the same transmit setup and hold time requirements as data and shall always be detected by

the receiving device on the assertion edge of the delayed clocked REQ or ACK signal.

See Figure.1.36 for examples of how the P1 signal is used to determine when the REQ or ACK

transition clocks valid data.

1-19 C141-C007

Page 100

Figure 1.36 Usage of P1 to establish data valid and data invalid states

(a) Starting pacing transfers at end of training pattern

See (2) Paced transfer training pattern for the description of starting a data valid state after a

training pattern.

(b) Starting pacing transfers with no training pattern

Before starting the DT DATA IN phase the TARG will wait at least two system deskew delays

after the SEL signal is negated before the first assertion of the REQ signal.

The DT DATA IN phase without training starts on the first assertion of REQ if the SEL is not

asserted.

The TARG begins pacing transfers only after meeting all the following:

a) signal restrictions between information transfer phases;

b) the signal restrictions between a RESELECTION phase and a DT DATA IN phase;or

c) the signal restrictions between a SELECTION phase and a DT DATA OUT phase.

The TARG begins pacing transfers by:
